Super fresh, great service. But Not impressed with their calamari. Very plain, you get 4 pieces and it comes with weird fried veggies and something we couldn't figure out. Not worth getting at all. Minus that I enjoyed it. Plan on going back and trying more things. I had the spicy maki roll (I think that's the spelling) favorite is the yellowtail. The soup and salad that's accompanies it is very different but worth tasting, I mean it comes with it why not. read more

The sushi is not the best around and the service is terrible! We've been here like 5 times and there's one waitress that we've had who just always seems to forget us. Tonight, it took us an hour to get our food after ordering when multiple groups of people had walked in, been seated, got their food, ate it, paid, and left before we got our food. I don't know the waitress's name but she is the only waitress they have there who works the row of tables to the right as you walk in. She constantly forgets really small things like waters, chop sticks, and one time a second beer; but tonight she forgot to put our order in and blamed it on the kitchen being really backed up. Be prepared to be disappointed if you have this waitress. read more

Every time I visit I am never let down. I am hooked on their bento box. Miso Soup, salad, spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura, rice and shumai. Great place and great prices for the quality. I enjoy the tempura vegetables as well. read more

This place was created for people who dont really know what they are eating. Everything about this place is presentation (which they do do a great job of). Had an interesting option of the bento box specials, but honestly were not that great in terms of taste. People who call this place authentic need to experience more Japanese food. read more

We came here on a recommendation from someone that lives in the area. The food was pretty good. Our service was just ok. I ordered plum wine 3 times throughout my meal and never received it. The first time she just didn't come back with anything, the second time she brought me water, and the third time she brought me fried rice...very confusing! We also ordered an alaskan roll instead of the tempura roll in our entree and we still got the tempura roll. read more

Sushi to die for. I've eaten around from LA to NY and this place really knows their sh*t! I could have eaten at least another roll to myself and perhaps another to go... I'm a pig. My boyfriend could barely contain his excitement when he saw a respected UFC fighter eating across the way with his family. We don't even live near here and it's worth the couple hours drive. Seriously, go here! Clean bathrooms, friendly/pretty servers, killer cocktails. Swoon. read more

I stayed overnight in Battendorf, Iowa, and went to Red Ginger for dinner. I had the chicken yakisoba, which was delicious! It came with a nice clear soup and small salad. There was plenty of chicken, but not enough vegetable for my taste. Also, it seemed to have wheat noodles rather than soba noodles. It was still pretty darn yummy, though! Dinner came to about $10. The service was friendly and fast. read more

Server was a little slow and forgetful but very nice. Sushi chefs were not very friendly or open for discussion on freshness of fish. (Most likely because no one ever asks) They also forgot an order and we had to reorder it. BUT the sushi was AMAZING. To be honest, I had low expectations given the Iowa location, but their fish was fresh and tasty. The hamachi and sake nigiri were very fresh, smooth, and sooo good. They didn't know what nigiri was, they called it "sushi". Amazing fountain moutian dew read more

I am VERY disappointed in the level service I received today. My waiter was unfamiliar with the promotions on Special Rolls; I asked him if he wanted to go outside to confirm buy 2 get 1 free was on the sign that is posted in the window. He did not go to look, but let me order 3 special rolls anyway. When it came time to pay he tried to tell the "manager" on-duty it was his mistake. She was very disrespectful to the waiter, and dismissive of me letting her know that I asked him before ordering. She was not willing to budge on any type of compensation, and she obviously doesn't understand the phrase "the customer is always right". I will NOT be back. I had a first time customer with me who also stated she would not return due to the nasty service. It's unfortunate that Hui Jiang's attitude caused Red Ginger to lose two (and potentially more) customers. They need to improve the clarity of their 'Happy Hour' and understand that such a phrase typically applies to drinks--unless specifically noted otherwise. read more

Red Ginger is my favorite sushi spot in the QC. Their roll lunch prices are hard to beat. I love the bright, open atmosphere and the polite servers. Their drinks are always perfectly strong and the sushi is incredibly fresh. I try to visit whenever I'm in town! read more

First time at Red Ginger and my wife and I were pleasantly surprised... We had seaweed salad, gyoza, a shrimp tempura appetizer, a specialty roll and some tuna and salmon sushi... The food was all very good, well prepared, and reasonably priced (even with a glass of wine and a couple of beers). Saturday night meant a good volume of customers, which unfortunately meant a few tables with loud children, but that was probably on us for coming at 6pm. If we have any issue it has to do with the ambience. The restaurant lighting is way too bright and there was no background music. This made dinner a little less restaurant like and more institutional feeling. Fix that, and Red Ginger is a great pick! read more

It was a pretty typical sushi joint. Which is to say that I enjoyed it. Nothing out of the park but we got the love boat and it was a perfect amount of food for two read more

Perfect lunch spot. Consistently good food. One of my 6 year olds favorite spots, and she's extremely picky!! The binto box is an excellent value. Lots of food and we love the variety. read more

All I can say is SO MANY NOMS! I don't care so much about the presentation as I do the taste and let me tell you, both are spot on. I haven't had anything I didn't like. My only complaint is the servers. It's not that the service is slow by any means. It's more their attitude. They are rude and troll like. But honestly, you come for the sushi not the servers. Try to look past them and enjoy your noms! read more

I have given this place more than one chance, poor service, not the best sushi. I moved here and heard this was a new and great place... So the first time we ordered off the menu, sushi was okay, nothing great, service wasn't the best. Had a friend come into for the weekend and stopped back in about 3 months ago, (about a year from the first visit) Knowing the sushi off the menu wasn't worth ordering I decided to have them make a roll I know is amazing... Service was again poor and when I got my specially ordered roll, it was terrible. I will never be back. read more

I liked it! Good sushi, fresh and cool. Nice service.

Best sushi in the quad cities!! Find coupon on phone... if you like to eat a lot... bring $$$... Otherwise hit the new Osaka Buffet on Kimberly. .. you can get 15 different special rolls... and pay about 80% less... this place is for a good treat... unless you are upper class ;) ...go off times for best quality and service! Still best sushi in the quad cities! Enjoy! read more

Good sushi. Spicy tuna, spicy salmon and an eel and avocado roll for lunch. Great service. Later lunch 1:00 and still a number of people there. Atmosphere not too bad for lunch but could use a little music. Eel is usually iffy and was quite good. Worth the stop. read more

First time eating here and the service was absolutely horrible. The new waiter was very immature, asking us ridiculous questions and our table and the couple next to us were just waiting to see if a camera crew was going to come out behind the scenes and tell us we've been pranked. The sushi rolls were not great, for the price I've had better at SAMs club! The rolls were not full or even wrapped well. The flavor was just not there. I wouldn't waste your time or money at this restaurant. read more

Simple, reliably good sushi. Atmosphere is also simple. They provide a quick and efficient lunch, which is when I usually go there.

Had the most interesting experience at RedGinger today... the waitress brought us our food and told us they were out of forks. After about 5 minutes of trying to use chopstix, I asked for a fork... she said they are all in the dishwasher. She brought us one spoon... after sharing one spoon for a bit, I asked again for a fork. She said again they didn't have any. I sat there dumbfounded for a moment and she just looked at me. I asked, what about a plastic forks? She said, oh yeah, I didn't think about that. Really?? Never have I ever been to a restaurant and been expected to use my fingers... wouldn't the logical thing have been to bring us our food when the forks were clean?? Wow, smh, NEVER again!! read more

The sushi was good and the atmosphere was very nice. A bit pricey for what you get, but 'happy hour' makes it worth it.

Really great sushi every time. I find myself coming back to the Bettendorf Roll and the Dragon Roll time and time again. Also, the Victoria Roll sounds strange.. but is so refreshing and delicious. The only thing I'd change is the waitresses, they never seem very happy to be there. read more

Great sushi, friendly service. The chicken in the hibachi dinner is extremely dry. That'd be about the only bad thing I have to say about this place read more

Great deals. TERRIBLE customer service. I found a strand of hair in my salad and the lady just looked at me. Never apologized. read more

This week was our second visit to Red Ginger. It was really good the first time (their first week) and we'd been craving their rolls ever since. One of my roll had a chewy soy or seaweed paper. The flavor was good though, and I'm not too picky. I hope they make it, as this is the best sushi we've found in town. read more

Great sushi! Their Happy Hour special is a great value. Decor and ambiance is nice. Friendly staff, fast service.

Love the Sexy Girl Roll! Had my daughters birthday there, her request- she turned 11. We had great service- they had our table for 13 set up and ready for us, and even helped with serving her birthday cake. Excellent food! read more

Having been here before, we were looking forward to returning. When we arrived at 550pm, we noticed it wasn't busy. Only 5 tables occupied. We were hoping to have a nice dinner before a 730 show. Our server was polite and took our orders promptly. Sushi came quickly...delicious. but followed too soon by our soup and salad. Then we waited...over 40 mins for dinners. My tempura was good, blazing hot. ..but the hibachi was stone cold. Looked as if it had sat FOREVER! of course we figured out quickly that something was up. Our server had no clue. Obviously an order was forgotten. She never acknowledged it...only apologizing. Took it back and heaped hot rice on the plate as a solution! Still, no manager, no one to explain. We couldn't wait for another meal. Had already been there an hour. Poor handling. Will not return. read more

Nice atmosphere, cheerful staff, experienced sushi rollers. Wait staff was helpful in explaining certain items and was sure to point out best seller's. The spring rolls were a little mushy but the Sexy Girl Roll was excellent with a nice presentation making it appealing to the eye. read more

Red Ginger - Sexy Girl Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bettendorf, Iowa

I've been there before and they douse all the Sushi with liquid smoke. Not good.

HORRIBLE service. We ordered a to go order and asked for no vegetables. Got home and there are vegetables in the containers. Called back and said we asked for no vegetables and they were trying to tell me something about rice and vegetables and I couldn't understand them. They were very rude and did not help us with the situation. Very rude and will never be going back. read more

First time I ate Sushi and it was the greatest, I will return on a weekly basis to fill up on protein

Quality of the sushi actually was so bad I stopped eating my food and worried about food poisoning! The place Oishii in Moline and Sakura express in Bettendorf are much much better! read more

We've tried all the sushi bars in the QC and I would rate Red Ginger as #1. We just tried it May 15th and had one of the special roll called "Henry Roll" (it was a work of art) and the a Philadelphia roll, and a sushi dinner. We also had edamame, which was the best I've ever had anywhere. It was a healthy portion cooked to perfection and salted perfectly. The Philadelphia roll had great sized pieces of high quality cream cheese and avocado. Other restaurants have gone to the cheaper (and not as tasty) melt in your mouth white tuna, and the white tuna in the sushi dinner was really good. We will try one of the tuna rolls next time. Service was quiet and took care of us well. The only downfall was the clear soup. It needed a tad more flavor. I'd give them a 95%. We will be coming back and hope that their quality stays the same as we had today. read more

Great for freshness and presentation! I normally get take out because my kids are little. Check online for coupons when your ordering for the Togo order, it's an easy way to save money. read more

Food was good, service was horrible. They don't have descriptions on some of the rolls and when I asked what we was in it I was told "probably cucumber... lettuce" probably??? Wine I was served was bad.... Overall it was okay. read more

To that poster who "rolled her eyes" at a "close minded, unworldly guy" who suggested that Iowa doesn't have good sushi. I created an account and posted this review, because I just couldn't let someone like you go through life judging other people for being close minded, when you really think there is any good sushi in the Midwest. You obviously live in a bubble where you sadly think this is the best there is. I've eaten all kinds of sushi, made in all different ways. I've had it all along the east and west coast and around the globe, New York, Miami, LA, Nagoya and Kyoto Japan, just to name a few. However, I have never been served an "oven roasted" roll that was BURNED, and been told that the is normal, because people around here like it that way. The Bettendorf Roll was bland and boring. The Red Ginger roll was UNEDIBLE. Spicy tuna and Alaska were ok, its hard to mess those up. Spicy mayo was oddly smoky with a weird thickened pudding-like texture. Service was slow, especially for an empty restaurant. I have a serious question... WHY CAN'T ANYONE IN THE MIDWEST LEARN HOW TO MAKE SPICY MAYO CORRECTLY????? Even though their spicy mayo was weird, it was better than the other crap ive had in Iowa. Nobody in the MidWest knows how to make spicy mayo. Not that difficult. You do not use Miracle Whip!!!!!!!!!!!!! Positive: the little variety of fish they had was fresh, rice was fresh. Negative: Service was poor to say the least. First time in a long time I gave someone a 10% tip, and left with a bitter/burned taste in my mouth that lasted quite some time. Sorry poster, I'm new to the Midwest and having a hard time adjusting to all the crappy food and people thinking its good because they don't know any better. read more

The service was terrible. Super slow while the waitress is sitting at the bar on her phone... there are only two other tables besides mine and two or three workers. I'm still sitting here waiting again just for her to swipe my card! read more

I don't know why I keep trying "Japanese" restaurants in the Midwest--especially when it comes to the tempura. I was excited when I saw tempura soba on the menu, but was sorely disappointed. Firstly, a mistake I have seen often, both in the Midwest and in the Pacific NW: the shrimp in the tempura was breaded with panko. It's right for the ebi (shrimp) fry, but not tempura. That just seems like laziness. Second, the noodles were chuka soba, or "Chinese" noodles, not the regular buckwheat soba. That's plain ignorant. Some of the sushi was not prepared correctly, such as the inari. Prices were in line with other Japanese restuarants in the area: expensive for the quality. Service and atmosphere were good. read more
